Congrats Europe! Blazblue is heading your way!

If you like fighting games, or anime, or both, you are sure to appreciate the 2-D fighting goodness of Blazblue: Calamity Trigger. For those of you not familiar with the game, Blazblue is the latest fighting game from the geniuses at Arc Systems Works, who brought you the Guilty Gear series way back when. If all this means nothing to you, I'll be blunt: it's a fast, intense, over the top, in your face 2-D fighter, which makes no apologies for its complex fighting system, while leaving more than enough room open for casual gamers to enjoy. And did I mention the HD character sprites and animation in the game are a thing of legend? Well, they are.

Having been released back in June for the PS3 and 360 in North America and Japan, European gamers were left holding the short end of the stick, apparently doomed to content themselves with their fireballs and dragon punches until another epic fighter came along. No longer! Get ready to give your copy of Street Fighter 4 an overdue rest, as PQube has announced that it will be releasing a fully localized verion of Blazblue across Europe during the first quarter of 2010.

Now, I can tell you for a fact that Blazblue is an amazing figher (having purchased the U.S. Limited Edition last month), but PQube and Arc System Works are planning to sweeten the deal for European Gamers with loads of additional content, including new characters, the Limited Edition Soundtrack - which I can guarantee is epic - and, a strategy guide, which, if you want to milk this game for all its worth, you'll definitely need.

The first quarter of 2010 seems pretty far off, but it will be worth the wait for you fighting game fans. Expect more info on Blazblue, including a full review, on GGTL soon.
